I like reading this group, but it has too much traffic. It is hard to read the stuff of interest between all the messages asking for advice on what hard disk and/or computer to buy. Therefore I propose that it be split into about 10 groups. Here is a suggested list, off the top of my head. comp.sys.mac.disks comp.sys.mac.memory comp.sys.mac.utilities comp.sys.mac.wordp-and-DTP comp.sys.mac.graphics comp.sys.mac.for-sale comp.sys.mac.misc comp.sys.mac.questions comp.sys.mac.DAs-and-INITS comp.sys.macII I don't know how to do this, but one method might be to take a vote on whether to split the group, and, if that passes, vote on how many groups to split it into, and then have people vote for n subgroups out of m>n proposed subgroups. I don't know enough about how USENET is run to know whether this is feasible. A couple of unrelated questions (unrelated to the above and to each other): 1. Where can I get a copy of binhex 4.0? 2. Has anyone a definitive list of ftp sites?
